To answer your first question specifically, yes. With fish you get substantial ergonomic improvements over bash and ash out of the box. There's also a very minimal learning curve since these features build on familiar idioms. There are some differences with fish as a language that take some getting used to, but bash is always one command away if needed for more complex stuff.

It's absolutely worth a test drive to see if the features excite you. If the lack of bash familiarity is too much of a blocker, then zsh with plugins that provide the same features as fish might be worth a look too.
The trick is to get a masters or MBA in the country where you want to live. Germany and Netherlands are excellent for this. You can find lots of jobs with no local language requirements.

I'm trying to degoogle and would like to get rid of my Google account altogether, but that's harder than I thought, especially when services use it exclusively to create an account. ;)

I always prefer the option of creating an account with an email address.
Oh, if that's the case, they really could have explained that better. The language used in Apple's article doesn't explain that the server cannot know the query or result (it implies as such, but doesn't make this clear, nor explain how/why)
I’m curious to see how you’ll automate this in e.g. IntelliJ, that doesn’t allow you to open multiple projects side by side. No, opening multiple instances of IntelliJ is not the answer.

Well, I use the free version and just checked, but I cannot even see what model is used.

Not sure about US, but here in EU, most big ones use LLM(or AI!) based platforms to rank and summarise applicants. While I do not have a public stats, but I can tell it from my friends’ account that a rejection takes 1-3h after submission.

> I’m in a big Slack where people ask advice on hiring and interviewing. I can think of only one time someone asked about applying to a company asking for videos, and the advice was universally to skip that company.

I would very much like to name and shame but these are actually fairly prominent on my side of EU. When a bunch of people is laid off and they have a family to feed(or even a newborn recently), desperation can lead to not skipping regardless of whatever junk particular systems put up.
If this was a computer game, I’d see it the same way.

But unlike in a computer game, in the real world, that would you have labeled your enemy, does not simply disappear. If anything, you’ll create a vacuum. And I am not sure where you are taking the confidence that who or what ever feels that vacuum will be better than the status quo. The Americans have tried that in Iraq and Syria. The Vietnam war as well. And I believe the result, in every case, has been anything but that nice clean victory that “finishing off” of your enemy in a computer game promises.

In my view, this comes down to Chesterton’s fence. Before you tear down a fence, it would be helpful to understand how it came to be erected in the first place.

Please do correct me if I’m wrong, but pretty much the only time the strategy of killing of an enemy regime worked was Hitler. That was a man who applied industrial processes to murdering humans - rail networks, assembly line processing, gas chambers. This is not the level of evil we are facing here, at all.

If Putin is anything as evil as you think he is, he will surely have systems in place that will ensure the destruction of major cities in the United States in case of anything happening to him or his regime. You schoolyard, bully, metaphor, while having the benefit of being easy to understand, carries with it a risk - 1%, 5%? - that our children will find themselves in the world of A Canticle for Leibowitz.
The problem is that those regulatory committees always put some kind of idealistic nonplus ultra standards into the regulations without respecting the real world.

> It’s a third party platform which can de-platform you at the drop of a hat

Yeah right but that's life.

Your argument is basically
"someone could stop willing to do business with me so they should give me the means to be independent of them".

That's not a valid reason, that's being unreasonable.

> cause a big headache

My very argument is that a "headache" is not enough. An "impossibility", or "an incredible effort" are reasons to worry. Switching to an other platform and having less cool UI and rewrite CI is definitely not a show stopper.

> “Intellectual value” is a somewhat arbitrary criterion.

What value is there in GitHub apart from their infrastructure, which is of no use to anyone unless you are willing to scale to their level, in which case you're just willing to build a competitor, which I have no issue for them to not give you the tools to do?

Yes and unfortunately there's a saying that goes something like snitches get stitches. Talking to the cops is the last thing many people want to do.
Kids that dismiss Lisp without even grasping the amazing power behind it, remind me the story of Yanomami languages of Amazonian tribes. Apparently, there's word for 'one' and for 'two', but there's no word for 'three', in their language, only a generic word that basically means 'a lot'.

Now imagine trying to explain to them the concept of subtracting a hundred from a billion and the most straightforward way to deal with that is a decimal numbering system. I think they'd kill you for blackmagicfuckery on the spot.

Well, if that comparison feels condescending, let's imagine ancient Romans - with all their sophisticated culture, economy and traditions. They wouldn't kill you, but still the idea of a number such a billion would probably terrify them. They'd probably be like: "dear sapientissime señore, we respect your wisdom, but we rather use... Lua"

I'm not competent to judge, but from what I read on another website, two additional elements [1]. On the video of the bird strike flaps were deployed, but during the crash they weren't. The plane did a 180º and landed on a different runway than it was initially approaching (tailwind, making it worse).

This suggests (this is only speculation) a scenario akin to: normal approach for landing -> brid strike -> go around (retract flaps and full power on the remaining engine) -> loss of power on the second engine (so no more hydraulic power, and no power to climb) -> attempt to land in very unfavorable conditions.

As you say, give it a couple at least a day if not more to settle.

In fact, this is how disability legislation (for example) already tends to work. You don't get to tell disabled people to just go somewhere else, you have to make reasonable accomodations for them.
One of the reasons is because telemetry and backdoors are invisible. If the phone was showing a message like "sending your data to Cupertino" then users were better aware of this. Sadly I doubt there will be a legal requirement to do this.

It has a nice click when plugging in even on my 4 yo device. Lasts forever. Every cable feels the same and fits perfectly because they are all made to a standard.
I have USB-C cables that are too loose or too tight. I have USB-C cables that click and that are so mushy I sometimes need to double check if they are in. USB-C wiggles in the port more than Lightning does. Lightning was a great connector both by design and because of the strict control Apple had over it. Am I sad it’s gone? Not really, but it was nice to have it when everyone else was stuck with micro usb <vomits>.

FIDE: "I'm afraid the rules are quite clear, dear fellow. Proper dress code is required, and jeans simply won't do. You should have read the fine print."

Carslen: "Fine print? What fine print? This is a travesty! A complete and utter waste of my time. Do you have any idea how much effort I've put into preparing for this tournament?"

FIDE: "I understand your frustration, but rules are rules. Now, if you'll just step aside, we have a schedule to keep. The tournament must go on without you."

Carslen: "Without me? But I'm the best player here! You can't just kick me out like this. It's not fair!"

FIDE: "Life's not fair, my friend. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have some important work to do. Good day to you."

Carslen: "But wait! You can't just leave me here. What am I supposed to do now?"

FIDE: "That's not my problem. Perhaps you could try your hand at some other hobby. Knitting, perhaps? Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a tournament to run."

Carslen: "You know what? Forget it. I'm withdrawing from this tournament. And you know what else? I'm going to take my jeans and start my own chess tournament. With blackjack. And hookers. Actually, forget the chess tournament. I'm just going to start a jeans-only nightclub. That'll show you!"

FIDE: "What? You can't do that! You've already been disqualified for the dress code violation."

Carslen: "Oh, I can do it. And I'm going to do it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some plans to make. Toodle-oo!"
Despite what people think. Lightning port survived way longer than usb-c ports do. I’ve seen phones with the usb-c port with broken middle bit. Go wobbly and lost contact on the board in the phone.

Let’s not even get into the terrible standard of usb-c where no 2 cables are the same. Some cables work on some devices…

Surprised to see the line count go up so much, 56K LOC of C++ to 75K of Rust. The blog attributes it to rustfmt using less oneliners. Even so, i would believe that should be a small factor compared to the heaps of duplicate code you get from c++ header files and all the other syntax ergonomics rust gives you.

Is this typical for such a translation. They also mention addition of new features contributing to more code, how much of the addition was new features vs pure translation?

Would be interesting to see the line count of the c++ version if it was run through a formater with similar configuration.
"Your data" is not actually being sent off your device, actually, it is being scrambled into completely unusable form for anyone except you.

This is a much greater level of security than what you would expect from a bank, for example, who needs to fully decrypt the data you send it. When using your banking apps over HTTPS (TLS), you are trusting the CA infrastructure, you are trusting all sorts of things. You have fewer points of failure when a key for homomorphic encryption resides only on your device.

"Opting-in by default" is therefore not unsafe.
You focus only on 'technical/physical' part of the gold, while ignoring the emotional part.

A beautifully landscaped outdoor space can elevate your home's curb appeal, enhance your lifestyle, and even increase your property value. However, maintaining a natural lawn is often time-consuming, expensive, and labor-intensive. That’s where artificial grass steps in as a game-changing solution. With its low maintenance, durability, and aesthetic versatility, artificial grass has become a popular choice for homeowners, businesses, and public spaces alike. Let’s dive into how this innovative solution can transform your outdoor space while saving you time and effort.

Why Choose Artificial Grass?
Artificial grass has come a long way in recent years. No longer the rough, unrealistic turf of the past, modern artificial grass offers a lush, natural look and feel that rivals the real thing. Here are some compelling reasons why artificial grass is an excellent choice for any outdoor space:

Low Maintenance
Imagine a lawn that always looks green and manicured without ever needing mowing, watering, or fertilizing. Artificial grass eliminates these time-consuming tasks, freeing up your weekends for relaxation or family activities. A simple rinse with water to remove debris or occasional brushing is all that’s needed to keep it looking fresh.

Cost Savings
While the initial investment in artificial grass might be higher than natural grass, the long-term savings are substantial. You’ll no longer need to pay for lawn care services, irrigation, or lawn products like fertilizers and weed control. Over time, artificial grass pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs.

Eco-Friendly Benefits
With artificial grass, you can significantly reduce your water consumption, helping to conserve this precious resource. Additionally, you’ll eliminate the need for harmful pesticides and fertilizers, which can negatively impact the environment. Some brands even use recycled materials, making artificial grass a sustainable landscaping choice.

Durability and Longevity
Artificial grass is designed to withstand heavy use, making it perfect for families with children, pet owners, or those who entertain often. UV-resistant materials ensure the grass stays green and vibrant even under harsh sunlight, while its durable construction resists wear and tear from foot traffic and pets.

All-Weather Usability
Natural lawns often become muddy and unusable during rainy seasons or dry out during droughts. Artificial grass provides a clean, usable surface year-round, regardless of the weather. Say goodbye to muddy footprints in your home!

Conclusion
Transforming your outdoor space with artificial grass is an investment in both style and practicality. Whether you’re creating a pet-friendly yard, an elegant rooftop garden, or a low-maintenance lawn, artificial grass provides the perfect solution. Its durability, versatility, and eco-friendly benefits make it an excellent choice for modern landscaping. Take the first step towards hassle-free greenery and reimagine your outdoor space today!
If you one-way encrypt a value, and that value leaves the phone, with no way to recover the original value, then the original data never left the phone.
Agreed. I’m just thinking about NFL players who have crazy wardrobe leeway in and out of games, but somehow adhere to the minutiae of game time uniform codes. Not because of the insane attention they put into their craft, but because of clear financial or competitive penalties for doing otherwise (that impacts people and time invested in them).
> I'm seeing no compelling reason for a developer to bother to learn or use z/OS.

I agree.

> And I know you could say "well Linux is just as complicated."

I've written COBOL on z/OS in the past (nineties). There's still COBOL used today. But there's a reason none of Google, Amazon, NVidia, Tesla, Meta, Netflix, etc. were built on mainframes zOS / COBOL / JCL / etc.

Yet billions (tens of billions?) of devices are running on Linux today. So saying "well Linux is just as complicated" would be actually quite stupid.

Something could be say too about the virtualization / containerization of all the things and ask how many VMs, containers and hypervisors are using Linux.

So, complicated or not, it actually makes sense to learn how to use Linux.
This is not the viewpoint of the worker. Especially because it kind of put a political frame on it.

I have implemented those cost reduction programs over and over in many industries. I can assure you we always know it is gonna cost more than just doing things right. The problem is there is a lot of bad incentives, people saving their skins and and a whole industry making money out of those cost reduction programs. They are now permanent in many industries and became the standard way to manage those companies.

I would agree with your two conclusions, this is the logical way it "should" go.

Now reality is for most of the big players it probably won't go that way. For example I expect the hyperscalers to go the way telcos went. They have the power (financial, political & co) to freeze their position in the market and they are now a critical part of our infrastructure. But working for them or keeping their stock in the last 20 years was probably a very bad move.

That is indeed another improvable alternate theory.

From my perspective, it's unusual to commit suicide in such a silent way, with such elaborate attention to detail. He could have killed the copilot, and had knowledge about disabling beacons, perhaps also about avoiding radar detection. But why? As an elaborate prank in creating the greatest mystery in aviation history?

Hijackings are usually far more loud. Distress calls, passengers contacting loved ones, a manifesto is published, or the airplane is destroyed defiantly (GermanWings, Q400 2018 incident, ...).

Everything about it is extremely unusual.

Not the op but I like it too and here is why :

- I like awk grep sed find and many more... and piping things together

- I like the low latency of vim and love walking through code with just a few movers

- I like the ubiquity of using the same tools on any machine, local or remote (including windows now that it has wsl) and bash

All of this even more so than "no mouse setup" or anything, I don't mind using the mouse sometimes.

A thermonuclear war, or a massive solar event where we lose all our computers worldwide simultaneously, or our survival concerns are more pressing than messing about in the digital space.

Also, a major, gaping technological flaw in its design and security that cannot be fixed. The longer Bitcoin is around, the lower the chance of this being a possibility.

Failing that, a few reasons why Bitcoin will always have value > 0:

1. Decentralised, open-source software cannot be stopped. No amount of laws is going to stop people running a piece of software.

2. Legal tender has restrictions, and governments tend to restrict freedom over time. You cannot buy drugs with a credit card. Cash will soon be illegal. CBDC are the future. Crime, drugs and black market are businesses like any other, that need currency to trade. Given the totalitarian future of our governments, we will find more and more legitimate uses for Bitcoin, things that are legal today but not tomorrow.

3. In our future deglobalised, autarkic economies, with Internet-connected citizens that want to send money across borders, crypto is the only way unless you love paying fees. Also, sending money across frontlines is a major "business" (i.e. EU <-> Russia)

Now, any cryptocurrency can do any of the above, so the last, and most important point:

4. Bitcoin has the first mover advantage, and greater capitalisation. It's what everybody uses, so that legitimises it and makes it more secure than any alternative. No new cryptocurrency will ever be able to change this fact.

Disclaimer: I am a Bitcoin maximalist, and bullish about it for purely political reasons: Bitcoin is the only software antidote to totalitarianism, to pervasive surveillance and to any sort of economic border. Bitcoin, with all its faults, encapsulates the spirit of anarchism. Its usefulness is directly proportional to the greed and corruption of our governments. How anyone is still surprised it has only increased in value over the past ~20 years?
Worse is when a protocol or shared state condition is modified.

E.g. suddenly some fresh out of college know-it-all sent crap into your function that you weren't expecting. Then he went to management to blame you for writing such shitty code.

Thing is you wrote unit tests around that code and the shitty know-it-all deleted them rather than changing them when he modified the code

This is why management needs to understand code.
